The good people at Meerkat Press have a Goodreads giveaway running through March 10th.  You can win 1 of 10 paperback copies of this 26-story collection.  All you do is click a little button and WHAM-O, you're all signed up.  Winners will be determined randomly by Goodreads after March 10.


I finally got mine via extra-slow express (I think it was strapped to a sea turtle's back getting from the States to Japan), and I have dived right in.

What I like best about this collection is that you can pick up the book with just 20 minutes or so to kill and get a complete, entertaining spec-fic story.  No long-term commitment.  I have a hard time keeping up with a novel these days, just because it may be several days between chapters for me.  But with these shorts, I get the satisfaction of a complete tale every time.

And the variety on the theme is always fun to see.  They are all about some aspect of the pain of love, but experienced through a kaleidoscopic lens of sci-fi, fantasy, steam punk, magical realism, and more.  One theme with 26 different ways to play it.  And all great fun!

If you're a Goodreads member already, you're all set.  No risk, all win  If you're not, sign up.  Its free!
